Deoxygenative radical C?C bond-forming reactions of alcohols are a long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry, and the current methods rely on multistep procedures. Herein, we report a direct dehydroxylative radical alkylation reaction of tertiary alcohols. This new protocol shows the feasibility of generating tertiary carbon radicals from alcohols and offers an approach for the facile and precise construction of all-carbon quaternary centers. The reaction proceeds with a broad substrate scope of alcohols and activated alkenes. It can tolerate a wide range of electrophilic coupling partners, including allylic carboxylates, aryl and vinyl electrophiles, and primary alkyl chlorides/bromides, making the method complementary to the cross-coupling procedures. The method is highly selective for the alkylation of tertiary alcohols, leaving secondary/primary alcohols (benzyl alcohols included) and phenols intact. The synthetic utility of the method is highlighted by its 10-g-scale reaction and the late-stage modification of complex molecules. A combination of experiments and density functional theory calculations establishes a plausible mechanism implicating a tertiary carbon radical generated via Ti-catalyzed homolysis of the C?OH bond.

Eugenia winzerlingii (Myrtaceae) is an endemic plant from the Yucatan peninsula. Its organic extracts and fractions from leaves have been tested on two phloem-feeding insects, Bemisia tabaci and Myzus persicae, on two plant parasitic nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica, and phytotoxicity on Lolium perenne and Solanum lycopersicum. Results showed that both the hexane extract and the ethyl acetate extract, as well as the fractions, have strong antifeedant and nematicidal effects. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of methylated active fractions revealed the presence of a mixture of fatty acids. Authentic standards of detected fatty acids and methyl and ethyl derivatives were tested on target organisms. The most active compounds were decanoic, undecanoic, and dodecanoic acids. Methyl and ethyl ester derivatives had lower effects in comparison with free fatty acids. Dose-response experiments showed that undecanoic acid was the most potent compound with EC50 values of 21 and 6 nmol/cm2 for M. persicae and B. tabaci, respectively, and 192 and 64 nmol for M. incognita and M. javanica, respectively. In a phytotoxicity assay, medium-chain fatty acids caused a decrease of 38-52% in root length and 50-60% in leaf length of L. perenne, but no effects were observed on S. lycopersicum. This study highlights the importance of the genus Eugenia as a source of bioactive metabolites for plant pest management.

The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.

2′,4′-p-Vinylbenzylideneriboflavin (2′,4′-PVBRFl) was prepared as a flavin-containing monomer and copolymerized with divinylbenzene and styrene or its p-substituted derivatives such as 4-acetoxystyrene, 4-vinylbenzyl alcohol, and 4-vinylbenzoic acid to give the corresponding non-functionalized and functionalized PS-DVB-supported flavins PS(H)-DVB-Fl, PS(OAc)-DVB-Fl, PS(CH2OH)-DVB-Fl, and PS(COOH)-DVB-Fl, respectively. PS(OH)-DVB-Fl was also prepared by hydrolysis of PS(OAc)-DVB-Fl under basic conditions. These novel flavin-containing insoluble polymers exhibited characteristic fluorescence in solid state, except PS(OH)-DVB-Fl, and different catalytic activities in aerobic reduction of olefins by in situ generated diimide from hydrazine depending on their pendant functional group. For example, PS(H)-DVB-Fl was found to be particularly effective for neutral hydrophobic substrates, which could be readily recovered by a simple filtration and reused more than 10 times without loss in catalytic activity. On the other hand, PS(OH)-DVB-Fl and PS(COOH)-DVB-Fl proved to be highly active for phenolic substrates known to be less reactive in the reaction with conventional non-supported flavin catalysts.

The hydroalkylation of alkenes using alkyl iodides with Hantzsch ester as a hydrogen source occurred smoothly under a Pd/light system, in a novel, tin-free Giese reaction. A chemoselective reaction at C(sp3)-I in the presence of a C(sp2)-X (X = Br or I) bond was attained, which allowed for the stepwise functionalization of two types of C-X bonds in a one-pot procedure.

The phosphine ligand mediated palladium catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes was investigated with the objective of attaining good linear selectivity for the ester. The effect of various parameters such as solvents, additives, palladium precursors, CO pressures, and alkenes of various structural complexities were examined. The results revealed the importance of using a Lewis acid such as SnCl2 or Ti(OiPr)4 in combination with a monodentate ligand such CYTOP 292 or P(p-anisyl)3 to enhance the regioselectivity for the linear isomers in the range of 70-96%.

Cyanoborohydrides are efficient reagents in the reductive addition reactions of alkyl iodides and electron-deficient olefins. In contrast to using tin reagents, the reaction took place chemoselectively at the carbon-iodine bond but not at the carbon-bromine or carbon-chlorine bond. The reaction system was successfully applied to three-component reactions, including radical carbonylation. The rate constant for the hydrogen abstraction of a primary alkyl radical from tetrabutylammonium cyanoborohydride was estimated to be 4 M-1 s-1 at 25 °C by a kinetic competition method. This value is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of tributyltin hydride.

Tin-free Giese reactions, employing primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl iodides as radical precursors, ethyl acrylate as a radical trap, and sodium cyanoborohydride as a radical mediator, were examined in a continuous flow system. With the use of an automated flow microreactor, flow reaction conditions for the Giese reaction were quickly optimized, and it was found that a reaction temperature of 70 °C in combination with a residence time of 10-15 minutes gave good yields of the desired addition products.
